VDIP2 - plz help

Natsoumi

hello everyone

I have been having trouble with the VDIP2 from Vinculum, and i was hoping someone here would be able to help me.

im connecting the VDIP to a computer and using Hyper-terminal to communicate with the chip. After many hours i finally got it working. However, the problem i face now puzzels me.
The VDIP2 only accepts the first command i enter, and displays the correct result. any command i enter afterwards results in a "Bad Command" message.

because im getting the proper results from the first command, the problem cant be with the hardware connections. I have the latest firmware as well.

Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
MN

You probably won't get much support on this topic since it's related to the PC and not our microcontrollers, however it would be helpful to anyone who can offer an answer to know exactly what commands are failing and what you're sending to the vinculum.

I use this on a regular basis at work... make sure you have your hyperterminal configured correctly, as shown in the FAQ at the bottom of this page: http://www.vinculum.com/faq.html .

You would need to probably post what commands you are sending it exactly. Also keep in mind what modes you are in for communicating.
